Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

Vegas is all about living large. But good things can come in small packages — even here. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino recently unveiled Vinyl, a speakeasy-style 650-capacity venue that puts you within reach of top rock, jazz and comedy talents. The intimately designed space sports an industrial look with exposed brick, wood floors, high ceilings and HDTVs flanking the stage. A bar runs along the perimeter, where you can sip cocktails without defending your drink against a packed house.
